Moderators can use their discretion to remove posts they think need to be (advertising, repeated reposting of the AMA, no identification [My friend said I should do an AMA, AMA.], or otherwise posts that we feel may deteriorate the subreddit.

"Abandoned" AMAs (where the OP doesn't answers any questions) will be deleted. Be advised that only when a reasonable amount of time has gone by, usually a day, in which the OP doesn't answer any questions (or only one out of many) may the post be deleted. If there are special circumstances where you can't for a period of time, please message the mods and we'd be glad to not delete it.

Note the existence of two similar subreddits: /r/AMA and /r/IAmA. The main difference is that we have about 50x less the subscribers.

But this isn't necessarily bad! Maybe you want fewer people to read your story, or you have decided that your AMA does not warrant a large audience. In any case, that's fine with us, as long as you make sure you understand the difference before posting.

If you feel that you posted your story in the wrong place, don't worry. Just delete it and post it in the right place.

In order to protect minority opinions, comment downvotes have been disabled via CSS. Without accountability, redditquette guidelines mean nothing and will only result in a combination of unconscious groupthink (the human mind naturally will try to agree with the majority opinion of the social group he identifies with) and de facto censorship (downvotes literally hide comments from view). Combined, this will lead to a cycle where only the opinions held by the majority will considered without bias.

I was watching a TV show the other day, and the one person who got a heart transplant said that he had different feelings and emotions, similar to those of the original owner of the heart. The (interviewed) person's family also vouched of his changing nature. Did you have such experiences after an organ transplant?

What struggles did you go through? Why did you need another organ in the first place? How has your life changed since the transplant?

Also I think this is a good topic to discuss as organ trafficking is a huge problem around the world.

The closest I am to that is I have another person's pulmonary valve. I didn't notice a change. I did feel responsible for another person. Like I had to keep this valve healthy to keep this other person "alive."
